Mountcastle Still Owns The Blue Jays
The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 10-1 on Tuesday night. At least the Toronto fans were able to enjoy “Loonie hotdog” night. Ryan Mountcastle‘s performance probably gave those fans indigestion, however. The Baltimore first baseman continued his dominance over Toronto pitching by going 2 for 5 with 2 homeruns, 2 runs scored and 5 RBI.
Starter Corbin Burnes (6-2) gave the team an eighth consecutive quality start, allowing 1 run on 4 hits (HR) with a walk and 5 strikeouts over 7.0 innings, throwing 99 pitches (66 strikes) in the process.
Connor Norby recorded his first MLB career hit, an eighth inning homerun to left field, to finish 1 for 4 with a homerun, 1 run scored and 2 RBI.
Gunnar Henderson went 1 for 3 with a double, 3 runs scored and 2 walks.
Adley Rutschman went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored, 2 RBI and a walk.
Colton Cowser went 0 for 2 with 2 runs scored, a walk and was hit by a pitch.
Austin Hays went 1 for 3 with a double.
Nick Vespi pitched the ninth inning and allowed one hit.
